Manchester City has again started negotiations with Kevin De Bruyne about a contract extension, the Belgian reports The last news Monday. Although the attacking midfielder is an important link in Pep Guardiola’s formation, negotiations with the club were difficult to get started. Now seem the Citizens to speed up the contract negotiations, and it is hoped to keep De Bruyne on board with an annual salary of more than 18 million euros and a contract until mid-2028.
At the beginning of the current calendar year, the parties were already sitting around the table to break open the current contract, which runs until June 2023, but the 29-year-old playmaker was disappointed with his employer’s salary proposal. The Belgian is sympathetic to an extension, but wants to become the best-paid player in the English league. It is important for De Bruyne to see his status as the best player in the Premier League in his contract: after all, in 2020 his colleagues called him the best player in the Premier League.
Since De Bruyne said goodbye to agent Patrick De Koster, the midfielder, assisted by his father and his lawyers, has been at the negotiating table with City himself. The Belgian international would like to stay in Manchester, but the previous talks have led to annoyance at De Bruyne. As part of the bargaining strategy, the current employer in previous talks offered even less than his current salary of $ 18 million, but now the club has made it known that negotiating a contract extension is a top priority.
While the deal is not yet finalized, white smoke is expected from the negotiating chamber sometime in the coming weeks. With the offer that has now been mentioned, De Bruyne would be tied to the club until the age of 35, with which he hopes to realize his main goal: winning the Champions League. This season, the creative only scored 3 goals in 22 Premier League appearances, although De Bruyne provided eleven assists in those games.
